Random Arsenal Shit (When it's not worth starting a thread)

I guess, but the relationship between fan and club shouldn't be the same as between customer and company.
Sadly these days that is exactly what it is :(

EDIT: And, of course, because we're fans we can't decide to go to a rival business. We either put up or shut up. (Not sure I've ever quite understood that phrase)

If Puma's millions help us buy another Alexis then fine. But if the money ends up down Kroenke's sofa then fuck that!

Eastern society is even more psychotic when it comes to consumerism, tbf. Korea is the Mecca of stupidity when it comes to buying tat.

Don't see the big fuss tbh.

If you don't want to buy it don't. Unlike watching the games, it's not a prerequisite for being a fan. Whilst the regulars are understandably fatigued and bored with it, there are plenty of passionate fans around the world who love buying new jerseys every time one's released. We're a massive club these days.

We're PUMA's biggest client by far and they're milking it for every penny. Good thing Ivan was smart enough to only make the current deal 3 years only as I reckon we can push for 50 million a year at least next time especially if we have a league win to our belt.

If you want to wear the colours you can get one of those retro shirts.

Of course, I'll be buying the new home shirt, because I'm a moron.

Not interested in newfangled stuff like that.

The club needs to come up with an enforceable policy for social media. Watching Ozil's every tweet and image turn into a fake news story designed to undermine him is complete bullshit. Why do we need this social media shite? Why do fully grown adults want to tweet and post trivia in garbage dumps like Facebook? Simple answer is to avoid feeding the media hacks and the sad cases who hang out on these social platforms. Why not use Youtube instead? Post up skills videos, advice videos for kids who want to be footballers. Then see if the media can turn that into shit. They won't be able to. But stop with the pointless tweets FFS! Regular companies have social media policies - why doesn't Arsenal?
